I went there in the late 70's before there was a graduate school. In fact the reason I went there is because it had no graduate school and I got to design main stage shows as an undergraduate. While I was there they were buying up the surrounding properties and creating the hugest costume and scene shops ever! The facilities were amazing and great! They've even expanded more since I left in 1979. I learned a lot there, mainly how to get costumes produced and made. But not so much about design. The teachers I learned a lot from are all gone, but some of the others are still there still teaching the dated lame methods they taught me 30 years ago, but also new teachers (I know nothing about) and new departments (like the film school) and of course those amazing facilities. **Looking for simple solutions to your real-life financial challenges?

Re: [h-cost] North Carolina costumers
There is an active Vintage Dance community to too far away from that area. http://www.trianglevintagedance.com/ They could probably recommend costuming groups, and give you events to wear costumes to if you like the 19th and early 20th centuries.

Be sure to check out their productions. They have the costume shop from Heaven thereand the hugest scene shop I've ever seen. Anyway, they often come up with interesting productions in theatre, dance and opera/ music. **Looking for simple solutions to your real-life financial challenges?

RE: [h-cost] For the costumers
This is an Unemployed Philosophers Guild product. They have a Beanie-Baby-style van Gogh doll with a detachable ear, a Global Warming mug that shows the predicted new coastlines when you fill it with hot coffee, a Scream pillow that does scream (and a Mona Lisa pillow that giggles), and Freudian Slippers with a sock-toe tongue protruding from Freud's mouth. Among many other punny, arch products. Character cards with stick-on appropriate quotations--including Jane Austen, fyi! They also have two different sets of Axis of Evil finger-puppets--choose according to your political inclinations They're constantly adding to their line, and revising it too, at least if you consider that the Shakespeare Brainy Baby is now on his fourth costume design. I've given my artist friend Frieda Kahlo as well as van Gogh. I've got Shakespeare (2 different outfits); a friend gave me the Great Writers finger-puppet set. I've given my niece Jane Austen and my sister, a biologist, Charles Darwin. I'm hoping somebody will give me Eleanor Roosevelt and Che this Christmas! If you like their sense of humor (and I confess I LOVE it with all my overeducated heart!), you can spend a lot of money with them. I haven't tumbled for the St. Sebastian pincushion yet, but it does look JUST like the painting, and I've found the painting perversely charming, with his faint little grin (ecstasy, I presume) and all, for years. As a Protestant/agnostic and lit major I take great pleasure in the various saints and feel free to find them bizarre. A friend of mine suggested that we start a pub on the Canadian border and call it the St. Lawrence Bar and Grill. Talk about Eeuw! Anyway, I assure all that I have no connection with the Unemployed Philosophers Guild except as a chronic customer. They have a website, in case you want to revel in their wierdness--or spend some money to make your overeducated friends laugh. --Ruth Anne Baumgartner scholar gypsy and amateur costumer -Original Message- From: otsisto [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Dec 15, 2005 11:15 PM To: Historical Costume [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [h-cost] For the costumers Oh how tacky.

Re: [h-cost] For the costumers
I am sooo jealous of your collection. I got Kahlo, the fridge magnet for Xmas last year and drool at all the other wonderful possibilities. Have not had such fun with this wearable/usable/own it yourself art since I discovered an artist's rendering of many famous paintings in which the human figure is replaced with Cats!
